Essentially, the Leafs had Alexander on a ATO, creating an emergency back up situation to call up Woll for a cap hit of $0 until they non longer need that emergency (when Murray comes back, it would be playoff time by then, allowing them to go over the cap), doing this while sending down Simmonds, allows them to have just enough space to sign Knies with no performance bonuses added into the contract.
